Trump Supporter Detained by ICE Questions His Vote

A Virginia man, a naturalized U.S. citizen, says his detention by ICE agents has led him to reconsider his support for President Trump's immigration policies.

• Jensy Machado, a naturalized U.S. citizen and Trump supporter, was detained by ICE agents near his home in Manassas, Virginia, while driving to work.
• ICE agents reportedly stopped Machado's truck, handcuffed him, and questioned his legal status, mistaking him for a deportation target who had falsely used Machado's address.
• Machado was released after showing his driver's license, but the two men traveling with him were taken into custody for reasons not disclosed in the articles.
• Machado expressed disillusionment with Trump's immigration policies, stating he had believed enforcement would target criminals, not individuals based on their ethnicity or appearance.
• The incident highlights ongoing concerns about racial profiling and the aggressive immigration enforcement strategies under the Trump administration.
